From My Stack of Reading...

The Wild PlacesThe Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a gorgeously-written book about Macfarlane's adventures in Great Britain as he set out to find the remaining wild places there. It is a strange amalgam of a travel-adventure-literary-nature book. A wonderful new mashed-up category which I hope continues to grow in the future.

This work inspired me as I wrote A 1000-Mile Walk on the Beach.

Happy New Year everyone!
